Introduction
The eSenlite EE118WMC is an advanced AC-powered motion-sensing LED light designed for ceiling and wall mounting. It features flexible, adjustable lighting profiles and incorporates doppler/radar motion sensing technology. This light offers two primary operating modes: SMART mode, which brightens upon motion detection and dims to a preset moonlight level when no motion is detected, and AUTO mode, which activates only when motion is detected. Users can customize settings such as motion sensor coverage range, delay time, dimming brightness (5-30% of maximum), and ambient light level for activation. This product is suitable for various commercial and residential applications, including hallways, stairways, balconies, patios, storage areas, restrooms, garages, closets, and attics, serving as an energy-efficient lighting solution.

Step-by-Step Instructions
- Prepare for Installation: Ensure the main AC power to the installation area is turned off at the circuit breaker.
- Remove Light Cover: Hold the light base firmly. Rotate the light cover counter-clockwise to detach it from the base.
Figure 3: Internal Adjustment Knobs
- Access Wiring: Open the LED matrix panel by bending the two holders to reveal the two power cables and mounting holes.
- Mount the Base: The light base is designed to fit North American standard J-Boxes. Securely attach the light base to the ceiling or desired surface using appropriate mounting hardware.
- Connect Wiring: Connect the power cables from the light fixture to your household wiring. Use the provided wire nuts to ensure secure connections (typically black to black, white to white, and ground to ground).
- Adjust Settings (Optional): Before reattaching the cover, you can customize the lighting profile using the four built-in knobs (DIM, LUX, TIME, SENS). Refer to the "Operation" section for detailed explanations of each knob.
- Reattach Light Cover: Once wiring is complete and settings are adjusted, carefully place the light cover back onto the base and rotate clockwise until it locks securely.
- Restore Power: Turn the main AC power back on at the circuit breaker.
Operation and Settings
The eSenlite EE118WMC offers customizable lighting profiles through its two main modes and four adjustment knobs.
Operating Modes
- SMART Mode: In this mode, the light will illuminate to full brightness when motion is detected. When no motion is detected, it will dim down to a preset moonlight brightness level (adjustable via the DIM knob).
- AUTO Mode: In this mode, the light will only turn on to full brightness when motion is detected. It will remain off when no motion is detected.
Adjusting Settings with Knobs
The light fixture includes four built-in knobs for fine-tuning its performance:
- DIM Knob: Adjusts the dimming brightness level (5-30% of maximum) for SMART mode.
Figure 4: DIM Knob Adjustment
- LUX Knob: Sets the ambient light level at which the motion sensor will trigger the light.
Figure 5: LUX Knob Adjustment
- TIME Knob: Controls the delay time (under AUTO mode) for how long the light stays on after motion is no longer detected. This can extend from 8 seconds to 12 minutes.

- SENS Knob: Adjusts the sensitivity and detection range of the motion sensor.

Application Scenarios
The eSenlite EE118WMC is versatile and can be used in various settings:
1. All-Day Long Illumination (SMART Mode)
Ideal for areas requiring continuous lighting, such as apartments, hotels, motels, hallways, elevator lobbies, public restrooms, basements, public garages, patios, and balconies. In SMART mode, the light remains at a dim level and brightens upon motion.
Figure 8: Hallway Illumination Example
2. Automated Illumination (AUTO Mode)
Perfect for closets, storage rooms, stairways, garages, restrooms, and laundry rooms in both residential and commercial buildings. In AUTO mode, the light only turns on when motion is detected, providing light only when needed.
3. Switch-Controlled Application
For areas like office buildings, households, and commercial buildings where manual control is preferred but energy saving is still desired. By setting all knobs to maximum, if someone forgets to turn off the light, it will automatically dim down to the energy-saving mode after the set delay time, preventing unnecessary power consumption.

Maintenance
The eSenlite EE118WMC LED light fixture requires minimal maintenance.
- Cleaning: Ensure power is off before cleaning. Wipe the exterior with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.

- LED Longevity: The integrated LED illuminators are designed for a long lifespan and do not require replacement under normal operating conditions.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your eSenlite EE118WMC, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Light does not turn on. | No power, incorrect wiring, LUX setting too high (daylight), faulty sensor. | Check circuit breaker. Verify wiring connections. Adjust LUX knob to a lower setting or test in darker conditions. Ensure no objects block the sensor. |
| Light stays on constantly. | Continuous motion detected, TIME setting too long, sensor malfunction. | Ensure no constant motion in the detection zone. Adjust TIME knob to a shorter duration. Check for obstructions near the sensor. |
| Light is too dim/bright. | DIM knob setting incorrect. | Adjust the DIM knob to your desired brightness level. |
| Motion detection is inconsistent. | SENS knob setting incorrect, environmental factors (e.g., temperature changes, air currents), obstructions. | Adjust the SENS knob to increase or decrease sensitivity. Ensure the installation location avoids strong air currents or extreme temperature fluctuations. Remove any potential obstructions. |
